Local bar eatery specializing in burgers and American fare. Delicious homemade Sangria. Service was efficient not overly friendly.,Burgers are delicious, the pretzel bun was too much bread . It felt like have some bun with your burger because it overpowered the meat. A brioche bun would have been so much better. Enjoyable and almost perfect. read more

We met some friends here for lunch. It billed itself as a sports bar, but I didn't feel that vibe. I thought it was something akin to a neighborhood tavern. Inside seating was limited for a group of 5. I ordered their fish tacos with beans and rice. It came with "fire sauce" on the tacos, which was a little spicy. What I enjoyed most was the beans and rice. The beans and rice tasted unusual. It has a very unique taste. In passing, I asked the server what was in the beans and rice. She said if I told you, I would have killed you. My reply depended on how. read more

Went here for an after work lunch with my husband. It's a small inside spot with a bar and outdoor seating and lots of beers available. Service was very friendly, quick and attentive. We ordered our burgers medium well and they came out more medium but we are fine with it. I had the mushroom Swiss and my husband has the western burger. They both were tasty patties on a really nice bun that I've never seen anywhere else for a burger. Fries could've been better as they had very little salt/seasoning. The food came out quickly and everything was pretty decent. It wasn't too busy when we went but it did very quickly fill up. I would return for the buns! read more

Cute restaurant with small bar seating and small inside dining area. Outside dining as well. This place used to be a Starbucks. I enjoyed my food, which was a black & blue burger and the collard greens were excellent. The bartenders were attentive & nice. Everything was delicious!!! read more

After an exhausting day of work, my family and I decided to grab some lunch before hitting the road. Looking for something close by, we took a ride to Fat Katz! Going in, things were a little slow inside (everything is slower in the west coast lol), but we were seated quickly. There was a nice selection of draft beers, but we just ordered for lunch 1x mahi mahi sandwhich, 1x cheeseburger sliders, 1x fries, and 1x onion straws. Going into my review, the food was great! The mahi mahi sandhwich came on a roll but packed a great fish to veg ratio! Loved the onion straws, lightly battered and not heavy at all. The cheeseburger sliders were nicely cooked to a medium, seasoned well, but did wish they came with a special sauce. The fries even though not freshly cut, were seasoned perfectly and had a nice golden yellow color! Moreover, are server was friendly and very attentive. Overall, we'd be down to try some of the other menu items if we're back in the area. My final verdict is 4/5 stars! read more

Super nice, interesting food, definitely a jewel in the rough in crappy Fort Myers. We happen to be staying in the comfort Inn, which is 200 feet away, but I would come here from an hour away, definitely worth it. read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch before a round of golf. Sat at the bar. Service was very good. Looks like they have a a pretty decent selection of beers. Got my burger pretty quickly. Wasn't the best burger I've ever had. Lacked that "meaty" taste. read more

Fat Katz - Cheeseburger and fries - New American Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Definitely an odd building... converted Starbucks or something but this place is fantastic. Prob my fav cheesesteak in town. Not authentic but very delicious. They also have a lot of tap beer options. Their sister restaurant brunch location Skinny Dogz is also great read more

Most delicious burgers ever and beer on tap and the fries are amazing give a try fun diner bar feel

So good, and so fast. Stopped in for a quick lunch and it was fantastic. The coconut mahi sandwich was moist and flavorful, and my husband's Ruben was tasty and as he put it -"one of the best I've had outside of a big city". Beer was cold and there was a huge tap list, bartender was attentive and quick, lunch came fast and was piping hot. An all around fabulous lunch, will definitely add to our local lunch rotation. read more

Fat Katz - Coconut mahi sandwich - New American Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

We always still come here after 3 hr drive from WPB ! First customers today, too early for a beer, ice tea refreshing. Honey got the pastrami Ruben, sauce n kraut on the side. Meat was lean n tasty, bread got a little bit soggy though. The sauce is super spicy, good thing on the side. Onion straws/rings were tasty. I got the coconut mahi sandwich. Fish piece was BIG , had to ask for lemon, a must w fish! Took off all the roll so I could finish it. It was good though not as coconut that i assumed w the title of the sandwich. Collard greens were beyond salty', disappointed. Waitress pleasant and educated us on the other sister restaurants which we will try. read more

The food here was very good, up until the point where we found a string in our cheeseburger. When ask the waitress what it was, she responded with an ooh ick and threw it on the ground. I would have thought she would've taking it to the the manager to address the issue., No, nothing. Will probably not go back. read more

We are almost considered regulars at Fat Katz's slider bar so we finally decided to come into the OG! We had a good experience, good service, and the food was good! I do think that the slider bar location has better quality food: maybe it's something about the buns or how fresh it is when it comes out of the kitchen. The slider bar location always brings the food out right away and the sliders are always hot! Their bacon bleu and bistro burgers are always our favorite! I felt like some of our meals were sitting waiting for hot fries for a bit before bringing out the meal, but other than that, it was really good! read more

The location off of Daniel's is excellent. I've tried the slider bar down at university Plaza and was not impressed. For some reason, they just taste better when full-size burgers. read more

Although the inside of this sports bar seems like the better place to be (more well-lit, friendlier atmosphere, TVs everywhere), we opted to eat outside on the patio, although it was kind of dimly lit. One server was very rush-rush: asking for our drink/food order within two minutes of us sitting down & without giving us time to look at the drink or main menus; later, this same server, in a very rushed way, put down our plates on the table & then, did not give us forks/knives, etc. until we asked for them. Those forks & knives ended up being on the dirty side, & she made a face when we asked to trade them in for a cleaner set. To be fair, another server was way more slow-paced & friendly. Our meals were quite good & filling & it is unfortunate that our overall experience was not better due to that one person. read more

We stopped by Fat Katz for lunch with my parents while waiting for a flight at the Ft. Myers airport! The place was popping for lunch - it was clearly a crowd favorite in the area! Service was slow; however, I believe they were understaffed as we only noticed our server and a bartender. We all absolutely loved our sandwiches! - My dad ordered the Cheesesteak. - My husband and I shared the Cuban and the Reuben. We both agreed that the Reuben was our favorite! It was so tasty! - Our daughter had the kids grilled cheese and enjoyed that too! My mom ordered the Fat Katz Cobb Salad and this was hands down the best cobb salad that I have ever tasted! It was so good that I took a screenshot of the ingredients in the salad so that my mom and I can replicate it! The flavors of all of the ingredients just meshed so well together - spring mix, jerk chicken, red onions, goat cheese, pineapple, craisins, tomato, and sunflower seeds with lime vinegarette. I promise it's definitely worth trying! As a side, we all ordered fries except for my husband. He ordered the beans and rice. One bite and I instantly regretted my decision of ordering fries. The beans and rice came out steaming (literally steaming) hot. The bean and rice were packed full of bold, spicy, and well-seasoned flavor. They were seriously so good! If you are in the Ft. Myers area, I would definitely recommend this spot for lunch! read more

My partner and I spent 4 days in Naples and everything we had was middling quality at a high price. We went to Fat Katz before we flew home, and it was the best (and most affordable) food we had by far. The staff were also super nice and fun. Highly recommend if you're in the area. The sandwiches were awesome and great beer selection! read more

Stopped here because it was close to the airport and we had some time to kill before the rest of our party arrived in Florida. Sat at the bar and all the bartenders and servers were friendly as can be. My salad was delicious and filling. Honestly everything on the menu looked good but I wanted to keep it light for lunch. A few folks ordered burgers around be and they looked amazing. read more

Food was good. But I feel bad for the servers. There was only two for the busy restaurant..

Excellent customer service, our servers were always refilling our drinks and making sure we were good. Very casual, no frills sports bar with good food. I really enjoyed the Cuban sandwich. We also tried the popular White Hot Shrimp which is really good and something I haven't seen before in other places. The burgers all looked good as well. read more

Such a reliable experience. Best Key Lime pie in Florida..and we have done the research!

We have been there many times and food always great, whatever you order. NOT anymore. We went there after golf for lunch. The shredded beef tacos were just cold beef with a few red onion slices. Nothing as advertised. Wife ordered sandwich with onion straws for an up charge. Soggy and grease soaked. Sad to say the quality control is GONE! read more

Great service and lunch portions are very large. The Philly cheesesteak was very tasty. My wife got a burger and said it was very good. The fries were hot and fresh. TVs all around for us ADHD folks to keep our minds busy. Exactly what we were looking for. read more

The onion straws are the reason I'd go back to Fat Katz! They were amazing - oniony and crispy. Three of us devoured those straws! I ordered a mushroom Swiss burger which was good. Hubs ordered the fish tacos - said they were good but might have preferred the fish to be grill vs the deep-fried. Friend ordered the Cuban sandwich which she said was pretty good. We all orders the rice and beans since we were sharing a basket of onion straws. The rice and beans were okay - had some decent flavor though the rice was a bit "Al dente" for my liking. Wish at least one of had ordered the fries so we could have tried them. A few things were slightly off, affecting my overall feel for the place - it's basically a bar, so we weren't expected much, ambiance-wise. There were big, industrial-size shop fans blowing, one inside and one on the patio - maybe A/C needed the boost? Tile floor at the entry had a weird slippery greasy feel on the bottom of my shoe. My draft beer was flat (but quickly replaced with a bottle upon pointing it out). Our waitress was quick. Parking lot with lots of spots. read more

Great burgers and beers! Service is always outstanding and food is delivered quickly.

The last night of yet another quickie trip to Florida, and my Yelp friend Kimberly H's review piqued my interest. Fat Katz attracts locals who are there to eat, drink and yuk it up with friends. The patio is great. Plenty of tables with one efficient server; nobody was neglected! The house cab -- a generous pour -- was only $5. T's beer was $3.50. What a deal! My shrimp BLT was pretty good, but the side of rice and beans, prepared with ham and onions, was even better. With eyes bigger than our stomachs, we shared an order of onion straws; be warned, they're addictive! I have half a sandwich and both sides left over for breakfast tomorrow. (Don't judge me!) The menu lists a variety of burgers and sandwiches. My husband chose the pretzel burger which was good, but definitely overcooked. Fun evening. Casual dinner. We'll be back. And by the way, well-mannered leashed dogs are welcome to join their owners on the patio. read more

This restaurant was very busy on a Thursday at lunchtime and obviously a spot of nearby workmen and other locals. All the staff were very friendly and hustling hard to get everybody their orders. We ended up with a couple grilled chicken sandwiches with side salads, along with some iced teas. The sandwiches were fine - decent rolls and seasoned chicken which hadn't been overcooked. Overall, we were pleased and it was convenient and quick. I think if you're looking for solid bar food this place does the job well. read more

Well this place is small & was hopping even on a cool Florida day. I had Crunchy Coconut Mahi which was dry & I was disappointed. I also ordered tasty onion straws. The onion straws looked & tasted good but I prefer the larger rings myself. Waitresses were friendly & efficient. My sweethearts burger looked good & he said it tasted very good too. Small but bustling bistro. I would give it another try if I'm back in the area. read more

Overall good option if you are over by the airport. On the smaller side on the inside, but still packed and accommodated a lot of people! They had a nice outdoor seating area that is a great option if weather is permitting. The staff were all extremely nice and attentive - to everyone I heard them have an encounter with. Ordered the cheeseburger sliders which were good but nothing that would blow your mind or out of the ordinary for a plain burger slider with cheese. They do give pickles on side and then asked for mayo, ketchup etc. Also order the chicken Philly but there was actually not much chicken in the sandwich. Was a lot more bread the meat. That said, the meat had a lot of flavor (slightly on the salty side) and the onions and peppers were cooked perfectly - still a nice little crunch and not just super soggy. Did ask to add mayo to the sandwich hut almost appeared like they buttered the roll which was nice touch too! They put American cheese on it, as well as provolone, but could've done without the American cheese as it changed the flavor a bit. Draft beer selection was slightly on the smaller side, but they also had bottled options to choose from. read more

Fat Katz knocked it out of the park! I honestly wasn't expecting to be wowed. I thought we would experience average bar food. Oh was I wrong! We tried the Wine "Oh" burger, Nashville hot chicken sandwich and Crazy Larry and key lime pie. They were all bangers made in house fresh! We highly recommend if you want a juicy chicken sandwich or a phenomenal hamburger! Ambiance typical sports bar multiple tvs to enjoy sports! Cheers read more

So my bestie and I were in Fort Meyers for the weekend for a wedding and we were hungry for burgers. After a while of doing research of what's in the area, this place had the highest ratings (the options were extremely limited). We were a bit skeptical but honestly some of the best foods come from the least appealing places. Fat Katz has the ambience of your typical local sports pub/bar with the classic greasy floors and kinda sticky table tops and TVs with sports programs or random news all over the place. We had sat at the bar and there were 3 women running the place. The service was extremely hospitable! The food came out in a blink of an eye, which had us slightly concerned but not enough to stop stuffing our faces with goodness. What we got: Appetizer: Pierogi - We were surprised this was an option! The little fried empanada looking things were filled with a cream like filling that was real yummy and had a butter sauce with sautéed onions and bacon on top. The sautéed mix had a funky flavor so I stuck to just eating the pierogi plain. Burgers: both burger patties were cooked as desired and were very well seasoned. Both plates had fries as the side and man those fries were a lightly seasoned classic. My comments below are based off the whole burger as an entirety. The mushroom burger was composed of having a sautéed mushrooms with cheese and other basic goodies. The verdict was that although it was delicious, the mushrooms needed a little more seasoning to bring out some more flavors. I can't remember the name of the burger I got (pictured here) but it had cabernet infused mushrooms with a fruit jelly sauce and cheese w/ other ingredients. Although the combination may sound weird, if you are a savory/sweet fanatic- you'll love this burger! The mix of flavors really tasted like I had a guava pastelito in my burger with the last notes of cabernet left on your palate. I engulfed the whole thing... read more

Stopped by here because I really wanted a good burger. It is a small place with TV's all along the walls. Good menu with a variety of burgers and sandwiches. We had two issues that affected our total experience. One was that the servers did not stop back by after dropping off the food. I did want to try some of the beers from the local brewery taps but the server did not return until we were done and ready to go, so no beer sales for me. The other was in the cooking of the burger, I ordered medium rare and it came more well done. With no server returning, I just made do and ate the parts that were not dried out. Other than that, it seemed like a lovely place and it was quite busy, so I must have just hit a bad time. read more

Fat Katz - Crazy Larry burger - New American Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Specifically asked the bartender "hows the brisket sandwich, is it overcooked?" She said "It's delicious, def not overcooked." I then clarified, "It's still like brisket should be though right, red in color?" She confirmed it was. Why tell me what I'm hoping to hear if it's not true ffs?! This thing looked like some roast beef from the deli at Winn Dixie! Worst, dry, overcooked brisket I have ever had. When a customer asks a staff member about a menu item it's vital to be truthful if you know the answer or just say "I have never had it, let me ask." Having been a server in multiple places, this is not how you do things in this industry. I doubt my sandwich was the first one she saw that night, she HAD to know this thing was disgusting ffs! First time there too, read more
